This code is for pick image for crop from Camera or Gallery
This code is works for all android OS but when I try to run On Android N device it crash when I open Camera. It works fine in Android N with Gallery.

I have also faced the same issue in Android N devices. But i resolved it.

Here is my code which can solve the issue:

 public void launchCamera() {
    Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
        intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, getPhotoFileUri());
    } else {
        File file = new File(getPhotoFileUri().getPath());
        Uri photoUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getApplicationContext(), getApplicationContext().getPackageName() + ".provider", file);
        intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoUri);
    }
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
    if (intent.resolveActivity(getApplicationContext().getPackageManager()) != null) {
        startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CAMERA);
    }
}

After this you need to create a XML folder in res, and in that folder you need to create a xml labeled provider_paths.xml

Code in provider_paths.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
</paths>

Later in manifest you need to add the following inside the application tag and make sure that the compileSdkVersion >=24

<provider
android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"/>
</provider>

If you've are not touching other apps in the system just put

StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder builder = new StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder();
StrictMode.setVmPolicy(builder.build());

in your Application.onCreate(). It'll ignore the URI exposure and you are good to go.

Thanks for the answer. Android (a.k.a. "Google is my friend") is making us idiotic once again. – Léa Massiot Apr 11 '22 at 15:09

You can use StrictMode, add below code to your Activity onCreate()

    StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder builder = new StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder();
    StrictMode.setVmPolicy(builder.build());

From Android N, android has changed the way you provide a file URI. Using file:// uri is prohibited and would throw this. Use the FileProvider to overcome this.

Passing file:// URIs outside the package domain may leave the receiver with an unaccessible path. Therefore, attempts to pass a file:// URI trigger a FileUriExposedException. The recommended way to share the content of a private file is using the FileProvider.

Downgrading the buildToolsVersions is not a good solution. It just hides the issue. – advice Jan 26 '18 at 05:22
Why to change app's build tool version? – Vipin Sharma Jan 30 '18 at 10:38
